Children can grow confidence and positive self-esteem through a compassionate and dependable environment, we endeavor for excellence with our staff continually developing their knowledge, skills and abilities to evaluate and progress making their time in our care a safe and positive experience.
Meal times are an enjoyable social experience providing a time when all children can sit and interact quietly together, these times are used by educators as nutritional learning experiences promoting healthy eating habits through role modelling and positive interactions. Our food and meal times reflect the cultural diversity of our children.
We know that starting school is a vital time for establishing children’s self-image, confidence and esteem; we’ve designed a school readiness program that supports the skills needed for a smooth transition to formal schooling.
We advocate positive behaviour management strategies, working in collaboration with families to determine achievable goals. We offer children consistent and appropriate opportunities which meet their individual needs.
We accept as true, through education and knowledge, messy play and risky play are important factors of self-assessing, letting children make decisions according to their own abilities and limits, creating further opportunities and positive benefits to explore and feel as though they belong.
We encourage family and community contribution and involvement, whilst promoting and endorsing the right for all children, families and educators to feel safe and respected maintaining a non-discriminatory, multicultural and anti-bias curriculum that will help children distinguish the importance of each individual.
Teaching children about the natural world should be realized as a notable experience in their lives, we teach respect, knowledge and an appreciation of the natural environment through the use of suitable practices including gardening, composting and worm farming.
We believe play is fundamental to children’s learning, We believe as educators our goal is to respect the children’s decisions to participate, striving to make the experiences interest based, inclusive and engaging whilst acknowledging the children’s different capabilities rather than ages, children are capable and resourceful learners who are active contributors to their own learning.
Our service abides by the National Quality Framework; we have a continuing improvement process across all properties of the center to ensure we use the most up to date practices and policies.
